About Amir Vicente
Amir Vicente Adibi trained first as an engineer before turning to law. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Harvey Mudd College through the Claremont Consortium, graduating in 2007. He later attended Santa Clara University School of Law and received his J.D. in 2012.
His early work bridged technology and public service. As an undergraduate he held a software engineering internship at Cisco Systems in 2006. During the years around law school he contributed to Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto’s Anti-Predatory Lending Program, helping low-income residents navigate consumer law issues. He also worked as a patent prosecutor at Imperium Patent Works LLP beginning in 2009, a role that exposed him to patent drafting and prosecution practice while he completed his legal studies.
After law school he continued in intellectual property. Over the next decade he moved into patent practice and, by 2020, was practicing as a patent lawyer through Adibi IP Group, PC. His path reflects a blend of technical training and hands-on experience in patent prosecution. He has handled matters that require translating engineering concepts into legal documents and advising inventors on the steps needed to protect their ideas.
Adibi’s technical background informs his approach to patent work. His undergraduate engineering degree and early software development experience give him a practical sense of how products and systems are built. That grounding supports patent drafting and prior art analysis. At the same time, his work in community legal services introduced him to client-facing advocacy and the realities of legal assistance outside corporate settings.
Colleagues and clients see him as someone who moves between technical detail and legal procedure without losing sight of practical outcomes. He has experience preparing applications, responding to office actions, and counseling inventors on filing strategies. His prior role as a patent prosecutor involved interacting with examiners and shaping claim language to align with patentability standards.
He practices in California and has concentrated his career on intellectual property matters. He currently practices patent law at Adibi IP Group, PC, where his practice focuses on patent prosecution and intellectual property counseling.
